I can feel no sense of pleasure from hearing "Leave It" for the umpteenth time, and I was one of its defenders.


similar thoughts.  I thought back then, "How cool is it that a largely a capella track becomes such a big hit?"  Now I just think "go away".

WOS4 (!) Bryan Adams. I think this is a new record for me, for WOS's in one set.

WOS #4 this song cuts like a knife, yet it doesn't feel so right.

ETA: Bob's throwing it all away.

Hope Ginger is up for offering some redemption...

I hadn't hear "Cuts Like a Knife" in many years; I initially misidentified it as Don Henley and noted some similarities to "Heart of the Matter."

Lindsey Buckingham's "Holiday Road" would have gone a long way toward saving this set.

hmmm, a live version of Solsbury Hill.  More interesting than anything else in this set, I guess.

This live "Solsbury Hill" is the first cut in this set not to be a Top 40 charter.

I would've forgiven all if Bob had played "Holiday Road" in its entirety.

Live "Solsbury Hill" -- oh yeah, this immediately springs to mind when I think of 1983. NOT!
